The book, co-authored with Charlotte S. Weisman, serves as a slideshow of American women’s history with images and captions documenting women of great achievement in culture, science, politics, business, entertainment, and sports. Her Story profiles over 900 women from Pocahontas to Oprah Winfrey to Sister Rose Thering, who was instrumental in the Vatican’s repeal of its policy of holding Jews responsible for the crucifixion.

She is CEO of Technically Speaking, a national consulting company specializing in improving opportunities for women and girls to find more career options in technology.
